The specific challenges that women face in their professional development fall into two categories. One comprised women\u2019s negative attitudes concerning their abilities in self-promotion and networking. The other identified environmental barriers related to lack of opportunity and support and gender discrimination. Compared to men, women reported higher rates of gender discrimination in terms of professional advancement. Women were less likely to agree that their institutions had regular activities promoting inclusion, diversity, and training to address implicit gender bias. Working in high-income countries compared to middle-income countries relates to reporting institutional support for career progression.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933823024628_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>These findings are an open call to hospital leaders, deans of medical schools, and department chairs to increase efforts to eradicate bias against women and create safer, inclusive, and respectful environments for all psychiatrists, a special call to women psychiatrists to be aware of inner tendencies to avoid self-promotion and networking and to think positively and confidently about themselves and their abilities.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/j.eurpsy.2023.2462","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T02:59:48Z","timestamp":1697597988000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The role of gender as a barrier to the professional development of psychiatrists"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9764-343X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ozge","family":"Kilic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6361-8789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anita","family":"Riecher-R\u00f6ssler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1592-7656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silvana","family":"Galderisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1845-3676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip","family":"Gorwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophia","family":"Frangou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5966-5723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana","family":"Pinto da Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0924933823024628_r28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40596-020-01389-5"},{"key":"S0924933823024628_r22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.74.3.629"},{"key":"S0924933823024628_r38","unstructured":"[38] European Psychiatric Association.
